1 The Winter Wheat Gets
More Moisture.
Good Local Demand for the Cash
WheatStocks Decrease
Again.
Foreign Supply Situation a Little
Heavy at the Present
Time.
Minneapolis Chamber of'Commerce, Feb. 18.
Bain and snow over tho winter wheat states and
sevetal statistical items of a depressing nature
made it impossible for the bulls, to do much iu
wheat when the market opened today. The
beats had material in hand with which to effect
price recession, but they could not make much of
a go of it, and a dull, draggy market was the
result. May holding for a time with S3%c as
the pivotal point and ranging up and down by
only the smallest, fractions. The weather reporc
bowed a ins iu Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Mis
souri, Illinois and Iowa and 1.6 inches of
now iu Nebraska. The forecast is for more
precipitation Mouth and west, to be followed by
colder weather. Iowa has snow to come, and
Kansas is thieatened. Conditions favor snow
at far south as southern Kansas, but a cold
wave is due for eastern Minnesota and northeast
Iowa, tonight, with likelihood that the low
temperatures will extend down some distance.
The bull news from the southwest necessarily
fell off after this better showing.
The foreign news presented nothing especially
important, except for some bearish statistics.
The quantity of breadstuffs afloat for Europe
Increased by 4,824,000 bu for the week, which
makes the total now on passage 89,176,000 bu,
compared with 34,352,000 In the previous week
and 36,822,000 a year ago. This is bullish in
o far as it shows that we are exporting the
stuff, and it Is bearish since it shows that
only a moderate part of it is really from our
country, and that European cash markets, with
so much in sight, are not likely to advance fliuch,
unless some serious crop damage news comes
along. World's shipments for last week were
11,120,000 bu. of which America shipped 3,088,-
000, Russia 2,296,000 and the Danube 1,664,000,
Argentine coming In with 2,892,000. Australia
is keeping upf a brisk movement,
1,592,000 bu going out. On the whole
there is considerable wheat going to the import
ing countries from our competing producers, aud
nothing in the European situation of the moment
Is especially bullish. Two more guesses on
the Argentine exportable surplus were received,
on from Antwerp, making it 90,000,000 to
95,000,000 bu and the other, from Argentine di
rect, putting it at 85,000.000. Antwerp cables
to New York exporters said that 63-lb Argentine
wheat is being offered there l% cheaper than
Kansas hard.
Locally there was a decrease of 175,000 bu In
elevator stocks for -three days. The double
holiday brought In 728 cars of wheat against 486
a year ago, but the cash market was not affected
by larger offerings. There was general demand
aud some out-of-town buyers appeared. No. 1
northern sold %@%c under May and No. 2 north
ern l%@2c under. Duluth received 184 ca^
compared with 80, Chicago S3 against 28 and
Winnipeg 167 agalns 90. The southwest compari
sons were 96,000 bu and 44,000 at Kansas City
and 152.000 and 97,000 at St. Louis.
The visible supply decreased by 754,000 bu
for the week, which leaves the total 47,783,000
bu, compared with 38,098,000 bu a year ago.
Liverpool closed %@%d lower.
Primary receipts 1,169,610 bu against 766,000
each for two days.
Local weather dispatches were as follows:
Lincoln, cold, snowing hard: north wind rained
last night. Omaha, snowing, high wind 20
above, getting colder rained all night. Kansas
City, cloudy, rained five hours this morning.
St. Louis, raining, warm.
Broomhall's weekly foreign crop summary
reads as follows: united KingdomOccasional
complaints heard regarding condition of crops.
FranceOutlook improved, owing to seasonable
weather. There is occasional talk of importing
foreign grain up to end of season. Germany
Snow has fallen, but there Is some anxiety con
cerning the crops. HungaryThe weathet

CHICAGO GRAIN
STATISTICAL CONDITIONS FAVORABLE TO
BEARS IN THE WHEAT PIT.
Chicago, Feb. 13.-Wet weather in the winter
wheat section of the United States and lower
cables caused a weak tone in the wheat mar
ket here today. Weekly statistics were favor
able to the bears, reports showing the liberal
Increase in world's shipments and also in the
amount of breadstuffs on ocean passage. Pit
traders were the chief sellers, and the demand
came principally from commission houses. The
May option opened %c to %c lower, at 85%c
to 85%c, sold at 85%@85%c, and then declined
to 84% (g/85c. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago
teported receipts of 811 cars, against 223 cars
last week and 538 cars a year ago.
After May had touched 84%f the market be
came steadier on covering by shorts, who were
moved to action by the prediction of a "cold
wave. Prices remained steady for the remain
